This is exactly the effect he wanted; all that talking wasn't in vain.
Nine.
Chapter 285 Heart-fluttering, Jeanne Alter begins to give away freebies
Immediately, Maren stopped paying attention to Jeanne Alter's situation and turned to look at the road ahead.
We were already close to our destination, and after our conversation, the car has now entered the Orleans area.
Well, it's pretty tragic.
The wilderness was alright, not much damaged, but the places where people lived, whether towns or villages, were all completely destroyed. Some had even been burned to ashes, and there wasn't a single living person to be seen.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. There were so many wyverns before, and some berserk Servants, like the Vampire Duke and Carmilla, who enjoyed killing.
With all of these people gathered together, it's no wonder the people in Orleans are in such dire straits.
Seeing that Ma En was looking at the tragic scene around him without saying a word, Black Jeanne felt a little embarrassed and uneasy, afraid that Ma En would dislike her because of this.
After all, regardless of the reason, these things are inextricably linked to "497" and her.
Marne, however, paid no attention and took over the driving, starting to drive around the Orleans area, looking around.
After passing through four or five villages without finding any signs of life, Ma Encai said, "It seems that the wyverns haven't returned. Let's go straight to the castle and take a look."
At this moment, Jeanne Alter, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
"The castle is over there."
"???"
Ma En looked at Jeanne Alter, who was giving directions, with a puzzled expression.
I'm a little confused, what's wrong with this girl all of a sudden?
He previously said he would never tell him any information, but now he's actually acting as a guide.
"No, don't misunderstand, I just happened to want to go back and take a look."
When Blackie saw Ma En looking at her, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly tried to explain herself, feeling a little guilty.
Ma En could easily see that she was being a bit arrogant, so he didn't say anything and steered the car in the direction Black Zhen pointed.
Seeing this, Jeanne Alter breathed a slight sigh of relief, but couldn't help but lower her head, her heart filled with turmoil.
'What am I doing?! Why did I suddenly do something like that? And why am I so nervous?'
Jeanne Alter raised her hand to her heart, feeling the rapid heartbeat, and was momentarily at a loss.
"What exactly is this feeling?!"
Just as Black Jeanne was lost in thought, Marne had already driven the car to a castle in the style of a demon king's castle, with a terrifying atmosphere.
“We’re here.”
"Ah? Oh! This is it."
Jeanne Alter finally snapped out of her daze, looked at the familiar castle before her, and nodded.
"It seems no one is here. Haven't the Servants returned either?"
Looking at the lifeless, motionless castle before him, Ma En couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
If the wyverns hadn't returned, Maren could understand; after all, they were just a bunch of beasts, and you couldn't expect them to be very intelligent.
However, those berserk Servants didn't return either, which was somewhat unexpected.
Although they are mentally impaired due to being berserk, the berserk Servants still retain their consciousness; otherwise, they would be unable to exert their fighting power.
She was conscious but didn't come back. Did she completely break free from Jeanne Alter's control?
That shouldn't be the case. Even if Jeanne Alter is sealed now, she can only be unable to use her powers. The contract between her and these berserk Servants should still be in place.
Thinking this, Ma En turned to Jeanne Alter and asked, "What's with those Berserker Servants under your command? Didn't you make a contract with them?"
Jeanne Alter quickly replied, "That's true, but they're usually not very obedient. I can only control them through a contract. Now that my power is sealed, I can't contact them. They're probably off somewhere having a good time."
Ma En nodded: "Then let's go in and take a look."
With that, he got out of the car first.
Seeing this, Black Jeanne quickly followed.
The two walked into the castle side by side.
After a quick look around and confirming that no one was there, Ma En asked Black Jeanne, "Where is Giles' workshop? I'll go see if he left any clues."
"This way, come with me."
Following Black Jeanne to the front of Black Marshal's workshop, Maren turned to Black Jeanne and said, "There might be danger inside, so you're free to move around for now. Be careful not to go too far, and call me loudly if anything happens."
Given her current weakness, entering the Magician's workshop could very well lead to trouble.
Although Marne was confident in protecting her, it would be better not to take her in at all. After all, there was no one else in the castle, and it would be safer for Jeanne Alter to stay behind.
"Well, you go."
Black Jeanne nodded quickly. Being alone with Marne like this made her heart flutter, and she couldn't stand it anymore. A short separation would be good; she needed to calm herself down.
Upon seeing this, Marx and Engels went directly into the workshop.
Jeanne Alter entered the room and then turned and left.
She went to the study again, picked up the book she had read before, and began to read it.
She wanted to find out from the book what was going on with her current state; she vaguely remembered seeing a similar description before.
"I've got it, this is it."
"I get inexplicably nervous and my heart races whenever I see the other person. Yeah, that's me too. So why is that?"
Having discovered the answer, Jeanne Alter excitedly turned to the next page, but what she saw left her somewhat dumbfounded.
"This is what it feels like to like someone? Does that mean... I like Marne!?"
Jeanne Alter was immediately shocked by this speculation.
She actually fell in love with Ma En?
"How is this possible!? That guy is so despicable! He toyed with me, and he's the one who sealed my power. He even has some twisted sense of humor. How could I possibly like someone like that..."
Black Jeanne desperately denied it, her voice growing weaker and softer with each word, until even she could no longer hear herself.
Because she saw that the female protagonist in the book also denied it in the same way, but later she found that the more she denied it, the more she really liked it, and even said something like 'explanation is covering up, and covering up is the truth'.
Jeanne Alter was completely overwhelmed and couldn't remember anything.
She did not doubt the authenticity of the book's contents, because in her small worldview, books were for recording truth and knowledge, and could not be wrong.
That is to say...
"0.9 Have I really fallen for him?"
Black Jeanne murmured softly, pursed her lips, and a conflicted expression appeared on her face.
She was completely lost. As a created being, her life experience relied entirely on those false memories, so how could she possibly know what love was?
Now, faced with this situation, I'm completely clueless and have no idea how to handle it.
"By the way! What else is recorded in the story?"
Helpless, Jeanne Alter could only turn to the book in her hand once again, which she regarded as the 'Book of Truth'.
She quickly started flipping through the pages.
He would occasionally let out a sigh.
"I see, that's how it is."
I wonder what she saw this time.
It's definitely not going to be any serious knowledge. (laughing emoji)
Chapter 286 The Discovery of Marx and Engels, and the Twist of Fate
Let's not even talk about Jeanne Alter's self-conquest strategy.
Meanwhile, Marne was also diligently searching Black Marshal's magic workshop.
With the "Ten Thousand Talismans Will Break the Rules" in hand, there was no pressure.
Although the Black Marshal set up many restrictions, traps, and mechanisms, none of them caused any harm to Marne, or even hindered him.
"There's nothing of value here."
Looking at the magic materials around him, the magic experiment that was half completed, and some experimental records, Ma En couldn't help but frown slightly.
These are not the things he is looking for.
"Huh? What's this? A diary?"
At that moment, Mar and Eng suddenly noticed a book that was clearly frequently used on the bookshelf next to the workbench. When they took it down, they were surprised to find that it was a diary.
After a slight pause, Mar and Eng understood.
Black Marshal wasn't exactly a respectable person, so it was normal for him to keep a diary. I opened it to take a look.
The beginning records his obtaining the Holy Grail, which was bestowed upon him by Rafe.
"Tsk, why are you everywhere?"
Maren made a slight complaint and then quickly flipped through the pages.
The middle section also records the story of the Black Marshal's wish for the Holy Grail, which led to the creation of Jeanne Alter in the 21st century. After that, there is a long passage about the Black Marshal's praise of Jeanne Alter and his joy at the punishment of Flannery.
Ignoring all of Marx and Engels's points, I flipped directly to the last part.
It contained expressions of dissatisfaction with the appearance of the Chaldea people, various curses, and finally, the idea of finding allies for their own side, along with a name.
François Plelatti!
This is a very dangerous person; he possesses a copy of the Luoyan City teachings, which he somehow acquired, and it's even in Chinese.
This Noble Phantasm is even EX-ranked, and it's a Noble Phantasm based on reason, making it far more powerful than the one wielded by the Black Marshal.
Because the 'Snail City Text' that the Black Marshal possessed was actually translated by François Plelatti himself.
